Listen to the Philadelphia Biblical University Institute of Jewish studies class of 2000 music team beautifully share live The Shema. This presentation would be great for one learning to pray/learn the Hebrew language.
Also, enjoy the wonderful pictures that accompany this live recording and complement its message.
An important issue we must all consider is whether the Prophet Isaiah, in Chapter 53 of his book, is speaking of the beloved nation of Israel, the Messiah, or Himself. Consider God's Word:
ISAIAH 53: Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

John 1:12-13: But as many as received Him [Jesus the Messiah], to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Olam does not mean forever... Olam is loosely translated World. Like Olam Haba means the world to come (heaven)... Get it?

@MrsClippit ----- OLAM from the BDB Hebrew Lexicon is defined as: "1) long duration, antiquity, futurity, for ever, ever, everlasting, evermore, perpetual, old, ancient, world. 1a) ancient time, long time (of past)
1b) (of future) 1b1) for ever, always 1b2) continuous existence, perpetual 1b3) everlasting, indefinite or unending future, eternity
The meaning is determined by the context. You'll notice it never means heaven directly. That is an interpretation of a literal definition.

adonai in hebrew? That hebrew word for adonai is not adonai... Don't know that much of hebrew but a "hey" or a "Vav" is never pronounced as a "D". Nor the "Yot".

@joms111 -- It is not the word Adonai in the Hebrew text, it is the tetragrammaton. However, Judaism always substitutes the word Adonai when speaking the text of Scripture, as they feel the word is so holy it is ineffable.
That is why the singers say Adonai, while the Hebrew word is what is commonly translated in English Bibles as LORD (all capitals).
